Remember, fingerspelling is used when expressing a proper noun, or a word you do not know. Fingerspelling an entire conversation may be too much for the receiver. When you fingerspell, make sure it is clear, and do not bounce your letters. If there are other ways you practice fingerspelling, please share them with us.
